I was wondering what to wear for the evening meals on the cruise and thought I had it nailed down. But my sisters would like to do a formal night and all of us dress up in formals. hmmm.. Will that fit in our carry-ons? Don't know.
AND since a cruise line will not allow travel irons, what happens when you pull it out of your bag and it's hideously wrinkled?
AND what would I bring to wear anyway that is formal/glamorous enough?
AND would my sister get me all hyped up and then wear shorts to dinner while I"m the only one in a maxi dress? Kind of like being invited to a Halloween party and you're the only one in costume...
AND I haven't lost enough weight to fit into my mother of the bride dress yet... That last 4 pounds is being elusive... And that would need massive ironing to be presentable... Darn satin.
So many questions... I did sew that brown maxi skirt for the fair... What if...
It's chiffon and no matter how much it gets wadded up in a bag, it still comes out looking good. So maybe... AND I didn't have a reason to wear it yet til now.
SO.. if I wear a slinky brown tank top with it, which I have... and a cape made a something shiny and drapey, which I don't have... yet... But would be oh so easy to make after a stop at JoAnn's... AND a fancy schmancy necklace that is too fancy to wear anywhere around here... hmmm
I think it's doable... And if I'm woefully overdressed, who am I going to see on that cruise again? besides my family I mean...
My only question now.
If Meri brings a prom dress, how in the heck will it fit in HER carry on?
She might have to wear it on the flight...

The brown skirt and tank sounds like a good option. We go to a couple of formal affairs each year and I have learned to have two very plain dresses (same dress different colors) that can be styled differently. No one ever knows I am wearing the same things every single time.
I was never feel formal enough on the cruise, but as much as I could. I have a black sleeveless cocktail dress with my hair up and the right jewelry has done me fine for the last two I was on. I'll probably keep it as long as it fits and is in decent shape as it is pretty timeless, if not dull.
